Travel and overeating and blogfame

I’m one of the world’s shittiest bloggers. I started this I think the Tuesday after Thanksgiving:

A weekend ago, I flew back to Minnesota for my grandmother’s funeral. It was good to see everyone again, but the circumstances were less than ideal. I think that some kind of reunion is in the works, and it sounds like it’ll be within a 500 miles of me in some direction, which is a good thing.

This past weekend I made excellent time driving to my brother’s for Thanksgiving. I got to Boise in just over 7 hours.

Now I’ll try to remember other things I was planning to write about.

Yada yada yada… Food & company were great. My brother and I made it up to Brundage to go skiing. Was my first time there, and it was pretty good.

Within 2 days of each other, I got a random mention on Jinkies’ blog, and a blatant mention in Torgie’s Webcomic! w00t for blogfame!

note: This post was started on I think Nov 29, 2005, and finally posted on Jan 8, 2006. I’ve backdated it to fit more chronologically in the logs.
